A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 190 – Cowardly
With hasty steps and irregular breathing, Kushinage Tenko heartily left her friends. His eyes and face were red with anger and shame. Angry at not being able to win the battle, and ashamed of himself for not daring to die to save his comrades.
He went down the descending path consisting of those sharp stones with a little difficulty. He has such a high intelligence that when down this road his movements are counted fast, but because the road is so steep plus it has been confused by Tok Ciauw, then Tenko becomes a hassle as well.
The katana sword that he usually placed on his left waist was now held by him so as not to interfere with movement. Jump there jump here, not infrequently he has to kiss a hard rock because his feet tripped a small pebble that is not visible in the dark night. But even so he continued running.
It's hard to go down this road on a dark night. But after an hour he tried desperately, finally until he was below and continued to run towards the beach.
May on the beach that became the Jeiji imperial campground have many people. Maybe we're preparing for a raid tomorrow.
As soon as he saw Tenko coming with a pale face and looked hurried.
Everyone looked in wonder, some were wide-eyed as well. Persons
these swamped were the ronin who had presumably guessed what had been
happen.
“Master Kushinage!” exclaimed one of his subordinate ronin who ran to meet him outside the camp. She is followed by two others, “Where are the others?” ask her with wonder and unpleasant feelings.
Tenko stopped her steps and took a few breaths. Him
looking at the three with timid exertion, “There was a great event, I had to report it immediately to general Suga.”
“Let us accompany.”
This offer was approved by Tenko and with three of her friends, she headed to the tent of general Suga who was in the middle of the camp.
The four ignored the reprimand of the two guards guarding outside the tent. The four of them instantly entered with Tenko in front.
“General Suga!” his exclamation was slightly stifled when he saw two beautiful women who were flirtatiously chuckling on the left right of General Suga.
The general who was not too tall was gawking for a while. Then he cleared his throat twice and said to the two women on his right. “Hope you guys can come out for a while. There is an important affair.”
The two women chuckled flirtatiously and went outside. Even one of them took the time to rub the general's chin before going out.
Back general Suga cleared his throat and he confirmed his sitting position. Looking at Tenko attentively and saying, “Are you in such a hurry? Anything on?”
This question immediately dawned on the four people and Tenko immediately threw away all sorts of dirty thoughts regarding the incident just now. He came back pale-faced, “They've all been caught. Three of them have died at their hands.”
The general's face darkened and became unsightly. Then he said
short, “Explain!”
Tenko explained from beginning to end. How they go through the coastal path and climb through the steep road that there are a lot of small big rocks. Then once they got to the top, they were surprised by a black coffin that knew it was there.
“You didn't bury him?” general Suga cut his words. “Please listen to general.”
Then Tenko continued her story. After finding the chest they were surprised by the arrival of three warriors and finally clashed with them.
“Rumors that are said are indeed proven to be true. The Chang warriors were made up of strong people with high heads. We eight attacked the three people became overwhelmed.” Tenko deliberately did not tell the part where she could be slammed by Sung Han in a single buzz. That greatly affected his pride.
“You are a powerful people. But facing the Chang warriors you can't afford?” heard the tone of general Suga's voice was a little disappointed, “What are they really as strong as?”
The three people who had entered with Tenko also tensed their faces. They believed in Tenko because they were like ronin. And they assumed that Tenko was not a braggart. It is certain that what he said was true. If so, is there still a chance for the Jeiji empire to seize the Golden Goa. Given the existence of those Chang imperial warriors. Although he had never seen it in person, the three shuddered.
General Suga was secretly horrified as well. If it was true that their warriors were that strong, would there still be a chance for the Jeiji empire?
Hearing this, the great general who had been dabbling in the battlefield for many years, became scarlet. The days of those who had a large army and were famous for the shrewdness of their katana swords, had to retreat from a bit of a threat like this? Where will they be put on their faces if they meet the prince?
“No!” reject General Suga vehemently, “We will continue to advance and will never retreat. Tomorrow we're on the offensive!”
Tenko along with three other people were wide-eyed. Tenko who had seen with her own eyes how terrifying the three people were was quickly refuted, “General, they are not human. Their cleverness is beyond our reach!”
“If you are afraid and take a cowardly attitude, take away all your subordinate ronin and do not disturb us royal samurai carry out our obligations!”
Alluded to as such, the heat was also their chests and the face of the four turned red. Tenko and all the other swordsmen were most abstinent to be called cowards. So now when the general said that he was a coward, revived his extinguished spirit and he said firmly, “The ronin will still come!”
...****************...
The four ronin turned out to be quite stubborn, whether what torture was given to them at all did not make them open their mouths about Jeiji's imperial plans.
“CTar... ctar... ctar...”.
I don't know how scratched it was, but the four still strengthen the heart
to not answer a single question regarding their empire. More
good to die rather than be a traitor!
“Great, what a marvel..” This voice managed to stop the movement of the whip holder and turned his head. May the one who let out this praising voice be Sung Han who had been watching from the top of the tree.
“The Jeiji Empire does have a lot of gallant warriors. Unlike here who mostly play threatening to get one place. How cowardly.”
“Hahahaha..” a wet hoarse voice laughs. “Young man, you do not fish.” continued the voice that turned out to be from Tok Ciauw.
“What do you mean boy?” bo Tsunji asked with a red face holding back anger.
Sung Han turned his head to face the four captives who were also looking at him. He chuckled with a mocking smile, “Well, did you see for yourself, right? He was about to deny his deeds.”
Of course the four people became confused because they did not understand. But everyone there understood what Sung Han's ridiculing speech meant.
What he meant was the behavior of the Midnight Wolf who took the Golden Goa with little threat to Tok Ciauw.
“Hahahaha..” this time it sounds Kay Su Tek laughing among his entourage. Everyone looked attentively.
“This time I agree with him. Even afraid that his position was threatened, he begged his enemy not to attack. Hahaha... how cowardly the action is!”
“You!” Yu Fei and Bo Tsunji had prepared weapons. The Blood Sword and the Black Iron Wand were spoiled.
But both Sung Han and Kay Su Tek seemed to be calm. Even they were still smiling with sneers full of ridicule.
“Hold, you two.” Say mediate gold mask, “Tno need to fuss among people themselves. Better quick buh four people it.”
“Hahahaha... fear.. fear attitude shown blatantly!!” Sung Han's mockery was answered with the prowess of the Solar Eclipse Sword which had cut off the heads of the four ronin. Sung Han laughed even louder.
“Do not insult you boy!!”
“Do not act stupid!!” this call by Tok Ciauw managed to stop some people who were about to gang up on Sung Han, “You guys are in Golden Goa. Don't be so sassy!”
